Summary:

Ms. McCall died after giving birth to a son while under the care of medical personnel with the U.S. Air Force. Her parents and the father of her child sued for medical malpractice and won damages. But the judge reduced the award for non-economic damages because of a cap in Florida law. Ms. McCall's family challenged the constitutionality of the law limiting non-economic damages.
